An elder statesman, Dr Victor Omololu Olunloyo, has described the governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, as a man of destiny who was underrated by political opponents.
The former governor of the old Oyo State said this while receiving the Osun State governor at his residence in Ibadan, today.
Dr Olunloyo, probed the underrated governor by asking: How did you do it? How did you achieve that feat?
“You are a man the whole world underrated. They were in shock. Only a very few people believe you can pull it off. Tell me the secrets.
“You cleared all the legislative seats, all House of Representatives, all Senate seats and the assembly honourables.
“You took the world by surprise. What a wonderful man you are”, the elated former governor told the underrated man of destiny.
Dr Olunloyo also lauded the Osun State governor for his wonderful performance since his assumption of office about six months ago.
The former governor was surrounded by family members and friends, including Are Dele Momodu, during the visit.
“Your performance as a governor elates me. Osun is a difficult state to govern but you have changed the narrative.
“You are doing many wonderful things and I can see Osun people are happy with you. Keep it up.
“My prayer for you is that you will lead Osun to new greater heights. You will overcome all obstacles on your path of governance.
“You will continue to shine as a leader of your people. The good Lord will uphold and protect you.
“You are from a family of excellent people. Your father, Senator Adeleke, your brother, my own Serubawon, senator and former governor.
“Thank you for keeping the flag flying,” the former Governor Omololu Olunloyo added.
The underrated Governor Adeleke told the Mathematician that he was in Oyo State for a formal function.
He added that he visited the former governor and elder statesman to pay homage.
“I came to pay homage to you, our political father and to seek your prayers. I appreciate your kind words over the little we have been able to achieve in Osun.
“We will not let you down, our father and other admirers far and near,”, the Osun state governor said.
